School Reviews

As I write this review for the world to see, lots of memories come to mind. The most recent is the pandemic that has struck all schools in the nation and how they are responding. You can never make the world 100% happy but from what I have seen this year is a united front from staff who is dedicated to their students. I see teachers reaching out to their students and pushing them to excel even when other schools have no idea what to do (or unable to). I see office staff and administrators working constantly to help students get the technology and assist teaching staff to make sure we are at our full potential. I see a collaborative staff working together so we are not alone and also not your children. I recommend coming by and visiting us (when possible, of course) to see for yourself. Ask to talk with the staff and students if you can. Then you will see the true picture. My star review will be based on this.

One of the worst schools and organizations in the San Fernando valley. Please do not send your kids there. They are all about the money but will say otherwise of course. $300,000 a year to run YPICS while minority kids are left with a below C average education, schools and teachers!
